Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1181 - 1120: Breaking the Heavenly Curtain
Huang Yi immediately checked the attributes of this crystal.
[God Crystal Stone] (S-Level, Functional Treasure)
A crystal containing divine power, can be used as material, absorbed into the body, or integrated into equipment.
This God Crystal Stone is of S-Level, but even among S-Level items, there are differences in strength. This God Crystal Stone is much stronger than ordinary S-Level items.
Ordinary people who acquire this God Crystal Stone will mostly choose to absorb it into their bodies after reaching the Demigod level, but Huang Yi doesn’t plan to do that.
He had previously absorbed the [Broken Divinity of the Harbinger of Doomsday], and the divine power within that broken divinity was much greater than that within this God Crystal Stone. He had only refined a tiny bit of it within his body, and it was unknown when he would completely refine it.
This was undoubtedly a wasteful act, given the long time it takes to take effect.
He decided to use this God Crystal Stone to be absorbed by his Divine Instrument Embryo, [Wrath of the Godslayer], allowing it to start exerting its power now.
With a flick of his hand, he took the Wrath of the Godslayer from the storage ring and pressed the God Crystal Stone against its sharp axe blade.
In an instant, the Wrath of the Godslayer emitted a brilliant red glow, frantically absorbing the divine power within the God Crystal Stone.
The red light on the God Crystal Stone rapidly absorbed into the gold and red axe blade of the Wrath of the Godslayer, like water meeting a sponge.
As the absorption intensified, the God Crystal Stone gradually softened like wax and eventually became a layer of crystalline liquid, covering the axe blade of the Wrath of the Godslayer and slowly permeating it.
The Wrath of the Godslayer had previously absorbed the [Emperor Somerett’s Bloodstained War Halberd], the [Scythe of Doomsday], and the remnant divine power from the corpse of the death knight Xie Xi, one of the Demon Clan’s demigod experts—the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Every time it absorbed such a significant treasure, it could advance by one level. Theoretically, this God Crystal Stone should also allow it to advance by one level.
Indeed, Huang Yi quickly received a system prompt—
"[System Prompt]: Your Divine Instrument Embryo [Wrath of the Godslayer] has absorbed a God Crystal Stone and advanced to a Level 4 Divine Artifact Embryo."
Huang Yi gently extended his palm, caressing the brand new Wrath of the Godslayer.
After advancing to a Level 4 Divine Artifact Embryo, its color became an even more vivid red, the aura of divine power it exuded grew even more intense, and its feel in the hand was heavier than before.
The engravings on the axe handle closely adhered to the skin of his palm, providing a pleasurable tactile sensation. This axe seemed less like a weapon and more like a part of his body, an extension of his arm, and he could feel every arc of it, able to unleash every bit of its power.
After this upgrade, the overall attributes of the Wrath of the Godslayer improved between 20% to 30%.
However, Huang Yi was no longer concerned with equipment attributes, as they were merely hollow data to him.
Items, skills, and attributes become insignificant at the Demigod level; only a rare few divine equipment or extraordinary skills can still offer assistance. Battles between Demigods occur on another level, comparing more profound abilities.
The Ascension Stage introduces this trend, serving as a transition period for players to begin understanding some of the combat styles at the Demigod level, gradually moving away from the traditional combat approach based purely on skills and equipment.
Huang Yi turned his head towards the Magic Furnace; without fuel replenishment, the furnace gradually came to a halt, its roaring sound becoming weak before finally stopping altogether.
Knowing it was inadvisable to linger here, he immediately left the Magic Tower.
...
In the Orc Sanctuary, countless Half-Beastmen from all over gazed towards the direction of the Magic Tower in the Holy City.
They were shocked to see the red light that soared from the Magic Tower was rapidly fading, eventually disappearing without a trace, no longer providing energy to the Heavenly Curtain Barrier.
The massive Heavenly Curtain Barrier, like an umbrella losing its support, grew increasingly faint in color and unstable in structure, shaking violently.
Eventually, the Heavenly Curtain Barrier began to dissolve rapidly from its top towards all directions, disappearing completely in no time.
Outside the Orc Sanctuary, the six million-strong army of Huang Yi no longer faced any obstructions from the Orc Sanctuary!
"Attack!" At this moment, Huang Yi’s menacing voice echoed between heaven and earth!
Subsequently, the six million-strong army surged towards the Orc Sanctuary from all directions like a tidal wave!
The thundering of hooves shook the earth uneasily, causing the grass blades on the plains within the sanctuary to quiver continuously with the ground.
In the sky, the vast army, as numerous as locusts, flooded into the skies above the Orc Sanctuary madly.
Soon, the armies on both sides were engaged in close combat, dazzling lights erupted densely from every corner of the battlefield, with endless cries of murderous intent and the clashing of weapons resounding to the skies.
From the sky to the ground, people were everywhere; there was no need to aim. Casting any group attack skill randomly would sweep over a large swath of enemies.
Huang Yi’s incarnation unfolded the Wings of Death directly, unleashing a sky-high sea of fire, charging forward relentlessly.
He paid no heed to how many enemies were ahead, what intricate formations were arranged by the enemy army, nor how many skills and arrows were aimed at him, ignoring everything before him and charging forward with brute force.
The Wings of Death unleashed a sky-high sea of fire, engulfing everything in its path. Swathes of enemy troops were devoured by the sea of fire. That Half-Beastmen Legion was like a fragile sheet of paper, ignited by a lighter, burning through without any resistance.
"Boom!" The Dragonkin Grand General—Yue Hao—showcased the might of an Ascension Stronghold all at once. Wielding a war blade, he fiercely slashed towards the enemy army, and the massive sword gleam cleaved a deep canyon into the ground, splitting the Half-Beastmen Legion into two, their formation shattered instantly.
Yue Hao then led his army, swirling into the enemy forces like a relentless tornado. What transpired within the tornado was no longer visible, only countless limbs of Half-Beastmen were flung away by the storm, and blood poured from the sky like rain, dyeing the earth red.
This was a one-sided massacre; Huang Yi’s side consisted of elite soldiers and commanding officers, vastly surpassing these outer forces of the Orc Sanctuary. The Half-Beastmen’s line of defense crumbled almost immediately, incapable of resisting Huang Yi’s dominance, the front swiftly crushing deeper into the sanctuary.
...
The Half-Beastmen Chieftain Barbarian Saint and High Priest Li Ge stood within the Magic Tower, glaring intently at the empty platform, their bodies trembling with rage.
The plate on the podium was empty, that precious God Crystal Stone had vanished without a trace.
